Awesome Dividend (of Kindness)


May our lives be rich with the gentle joy
of many a kindness both given and received!



It may not seem like much, all told;
The gentle word, the cheerful smile
The hug, the prayer, plan put on hold
To walk a secret second mile

The helping hand, the listening ear
The cup of tea shared with a friend
It may not seem like much, my dear
Yet, yields an Awesome Dividend 

For oh, we cannot know how far
Ripple effects of kindness flow
Therefore, no matter where we are
Let’s find some small kindness to show

Because big differences start
Not in the limelight of success
But in the love that lifts a heart
Through countless little kindnesses

It may not seem like much, all told;
But love is never commonplace
The small kind deed worth more than gold
As it puts a smile on God's face

Eph.4:32
And be ye kind one to another, 
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, 
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
